SAP Business By Design Features
Finance
Financial and managerial accounting is the core of SAP Business ByDesign. The suite provides a robust and up-to-date view of your financial condition through pre-configured, intelligent processes. A key finance feature is cash and liquidity management. These processes have a high degree of automation while giving you full control and compliance through a dedicated workflow. In the module, automatic payments are created based on reoccurrences as well as a list of all due payments. You can select multiple payments in preparation at once and execute them all for an efficient working pattern. You can then create a bank file based on the selected payments or schedule a payment media run for all payments ready to transfer.
CRM
SAP Business ByDesign contains customer relationship management processes that give you a complete 360-degree view of your customer as well as full visibility into the overall sales process. From a portal report, you can drill down directly into customer overviews. These overviews give you a complete, real-time view of your customers' current statuses. You can select details by domain, such as services, sales, or finance, and find all process steps executed. Finally, drill down into the logistics events and find all details and trace of every transaction.
Human Resources
SAP Business ByDesign's streamlined HR processes enable efficient and accurate employee management. During onboarding, all relevant information can be easily accessed by employees and managers. Centralized data and self-service processes are key features that govern time, labor, and compensation management. HR self-services enable employees to self-manage time sheets, personal information, and procurement processes. You can also create policy-compliant purchase requests and automate approvals.
Project Management
No matter the size or complexity of your projects, SAP Business ByDesign can help you effectively plan, organize, and manage all project resources. Real-time visibility into project performance is at the center of project management. Personalized dashboards give project managers an overall project performance report in their work center. Detailed project cost reports are available to view with multiple drill-down options available for relevant items. Document flows - from CRM sales quote to financial journey entry - are easily accessible for a full view of all project components.
Procurement
Sourcing and purchasing activities are centralized and automated with SAP Business ByDesign. ByDesign has an automated RFQ process with multiple suppliers. When you create an RFQ for a new material, you can manually select or allow the system to propose bidders. The interactive form is created automatically after sending the RFQ by email, and bidders who reply can directly submit a quote via the interactive form. This reduces the risk of errors and enables process acceleration. The system evaluates the best proposal, and you can easily compare quotes and award. Once chosen, the contract is created automatically and is ready for release and approval.
Supply Chain Management
SAP Business ByDesign offers product development, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and planning to help you effectively manage your entire supply chain. With demand planning, advanced statistical forecasting methods help you plan demand accurately and in real-time. You can view all historical data on the interactive planning board and easily adjust key figures, final actuals, and final forecasts. Release the final results and forecast consumption for purchase or production proposals.
